How a Dutchman became the King of England
In 1689 a new King and Queen were crowed in England, it was an unusual event, the pair would rule as coregents and the King wasn’t English but Dutch. The story, or perhaps stories, of how a Dutchman found himself King of England is a turning point in history. This event concluded England’s Glorious Revolution, and led on to cement a Major constitutional change. Catholics would be prevented from taking the crown and the English Bill of rights would come from this bloodless revolution.

Some notes on this video: First, off watch to other videos in the playlist, they’re awesome! bit.ly/Project_Revolution Second, a note about religion (this won’t go badly right?). When telling the story of the Glorious Revolution a lot of writers will present it as a Protestant vs Catholic story, casually placing Anglicans in with Protestants. There is some very good reasons for them to do this, it’s simpler and historically speaking there wasn’t the large division between the various Protestant denominations at this time. But, I think my viewers are smarter than most and can deal with the nuance, so I mentioned when people were Anglican vs Protestant. Anglicans diverged from the papacy in a very different way than other Protestants. Protestants, like Luther and Calvin, were challenging the policies and actions of the established Roman Catholic Church, they “protested” the church by leaving it on religious grounds. But the Anglican tradition is rooted with Henry VIII, who split from the papacy when the Pope refused to annul his marriage, the split came about because of political reasons. The resulting Anglicans had, at the time of the Glorious Revolution, a lot of comradery with other Protestants, but Mary, Williams wife, cousin and coregent, was an Anglican. She wasn’t just a good type of Christian (Protestant) but she was the best type of Christian (Anglican). Third, flags. You might have noticed I used a flag that looks like the flag of Luxemburg for the Dutch in this video. This is the “Statenvlag” and was the flag of the Dutch Republic at the time of the Glorious Revolution. The modern national flag of the Netherlands, officially introduced in 1937, is based on this flag. However, because it’s so similar to the flag of Luxemburg I didn’t use it in the thumbnail but used the earlier “Prinsenvlag”, this wasn’t in use by this time but it’s more recognisable and I guessed it would be more “clickable” on the thumbnail. So yeah, thanks KZread for making me less accurate in order to teach people things, sigh.

Do you know the payout difference between an annuity and a bond? Till this day the reason for war boils down to the monopoly on violence. James II was caught in an arbitrage between bonds and annuities for war payments. It was never a civil war, he was bankrupt - that is all. We look back at history with terms like 'revenue' or 'governance' or 'religion' but the principals are forgotten - like with Tony Blair (the credit crisis of 2008 was postponed for war in 2004). James tried to make England a better country, that is not ruled by bonds holders or annuity insurers, but to trust the monarch - he tried to make it about god. Tony Blair did the same. Ironically, war bonds was issued by William and later slave bonds by George IV. Both was intended to finance the navy and never the subjects or victims. In both cases, bond yield was lower than annuities on risk.
I approve this message.

Thanks, there is certainly a tendency in history to focus on great battles and such, often the politics behind them are equally as interesting. However, a lot of "History" (in the classroom sense) is about building a national identity and battles and such lend themselves well to that. We also tend to teach about wars we won which helps, it becomes a story about how 'we' won and are the best and 'they' lost and are the worst, and here are our heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for your nation so you better well respect it.

In Dutch we mostly call a "Revolution" a "Revolutie". Not an omwelteling. It is correct Dutch, though.
At this time, it's fair to say that England and the Netherlands were one country, but William didn't have everything go his way. He wanted the English army to help fight France, but instead the English pushed for an invasion of Ireland. William, being from the more religiously tolerant Netherlands, was willing to spare the Catholic Irish from land confiscations if they surrendered , but the English willfully ignored and broke that promise. And it's here too that England's institutions modernise by emulating the Dutch, while the Dutch from here on out go into decline as a major power. Also, the checks and balances on the monarchy not only frustrated William's plans for England, they also mark the definitive point where the English monarchy effectively loses their real political power, leaving the Crown as a figurehead and Parliament as the institution that held all the cards.

I wouldn't say they were one country. It's fair to say that England and most of the Dutch Provinces were in personal union but they were very separate nations and their legal systems were separate. With regards to Williams treatment of the Catholics, keep in mind the Holy Roman Empire was an important member of the Grand Alliance and was Catholic, William had promised Leopold he wouldn't persecute the Catholics in Britain and he couldn't really afford to lose Leopold's support. As you note the English were not really cooperating with this but William at least had to try and hold them back.

This event is actually the start of one my favourite alternate history scenarios. If William’s lineage had continued, there’s a reasonable chance that the Netherlands would have been incorporated into the UK, which has a major impact on the history of the world. The UK and NL had the two most powerful navies of their time, and together they would likely have been even more powerful. This is helped by the fact that both navies were weakened in the Anglo-Dutch wars that followed. A stronger “UK” would have had a far higher chance of being able to quell the American Revolution. (As their inability to supply their forces played a major role in the Continental Army’s success.) On top of this, Dutch colonies owned by the VOC would be incorporated into “Anglo-Dutch Empire”, leading to a world where the Empire has a far greater extent than in our timeline. Looking further into the future, the British ban of slavery in the 1800s could maybe have reduced the mistreatment of people in Dutch colonies, although that can be debated since the British weren’t too kind to their own colonies even after the ban. The UK’s new land in the Netherlands would also greatly affect the events of WWI and WWII (assuming they still occur), as the UK may have opted for a less defensive campaign, given that they would want to protect the Netherlands. If Germany still follows their WWII strategy or our timeline, the successful invasion of the “UK” would likely be a bit of a morale killer. However, in this timeline the US - still being in the empire - would have been able to enter the war at full force immediately, strengthening the allied cause, and leading them to likely still win in this timeline. After the war, it is reasonably possible that the Anglo-Dutch Empire survives, given the fact that the US economy (fundamentally still part of the Empire’s economy now) would massively reduce the impact the war had on the “UK” government. Either way, there’s lots to explore here, which is why it’s my favourite alternate history scenario. One tiny change that was reasonably likely to occur, and suddenly the history of the entire world is different!

The Dutch would not have a half-Dutch ruler in England claiming rule. Someone would tear the Netherlands away from the Willem IIi line and rule apart from them. Remember that Charles II fought two wars with the Dutch, so despite Willem being popular with Protestants there was still animosity against the Dutch.

Also, keep in mind that William was Stadtholder (and not actually of all of the provinces, although of the one that really mattered), in practice this was hereditary. The Stadtholder was appointed and likely at some stage, the provinces would choose someone other than the British heir. The new King in Britain would then have a choice to press a claim on the territory, but that would have been politically difficult. There wouldn't really be any legal basis for Britain, the Act of Abjuration was clear on this. Also, the last King to rule over a Stadtholder was Spanish, claiming the Netherlands as a birthright might have been seen as a declaration of war on Spain as well. A Jacobite pretender might have been around in France too, and so the French might have seen an opportunity. That is to say that a British King could easily find himself at war with much of the continent, fighting the Dutch and Spanish in the low lands and the French and Jacobites in Ireland. You might end up with a much weaker British Empire rather than a stronger one, in which case I'd be typing in French or Spanish.

Excellent thoughts, but bear in mind that from 1714 the Kingdom of Hanover was in personal union with the Crown of Great Britain. As Hanover bordered the Netherlands, the combined British, Hanoverian and Dutch states would have been such a great power that even Bourbon France or Austria/HRE couldn't challenge them. That means the French Revolution could be squashed and the history of Europe (and thus the world) would be radically changed
Fun fact: The accession of William of Orange to the English throne established the doctrine of constructive invitation in international law, by which a legitimate government can invite another country to invade in order to depose an illegitimate leader. This was (to my knowledge) not used again until the US invasion of Grenada in 1983.

As it didn't show up in the video: this is also the event which brought this particular sense of the word 'revolution' into the English language - as satire. One of the Royal Society crew, cant' remember which, referred to it as the Glorious Revolution, on the grounds that once it was over everything was back where they started again; as in the revolution of a wheel.
The intro almost seems like a beginning of a logic puzzle.
The Dutch and the English (Brits) have much in common. It's a good thing.

William’s ultimate goal was to merge the royal houses of England and the Netherlands, making the Dutch Republic a vassal state under England via a Personal Union. This plan failed however because William could not produce an heir and he died childless. (Some historians think he was a homosexual or severely introverted, which didn’t really help either). After Williams death, the Dutch Republic went into the Second Stadtholderless Period, but later elected William IV, part of the ‘Frisian’ Orange-Nassau dynasty, as their new stadtholder (and therefore the direct male line of William of Orange died out). In England Queen Anne, daughter of James II, was crowned, and family ties between the two royal houses were severed.

The video doesnt make it fully clear but in 1672 the French and English formed an alliance against the Dutch. The Dutch barrely survived this. William III planned this invasion many years in advance, but the French having a war in the Holy Roman Empire ( so being distracted) was the main reason for it. Being invited too help the British people is most likely propaganda. After the succesfull invasion he modelled the country after the Netherlands. A national bank was founded, a the first stock exchange came a long and the parlement got influence ( which was exactly the same in the Netherlands, but it was called de raad van staat). An agreement was made that if he had kids they wouldnt be the first to the throne just like in the Netherlands. This all lead to the rise of England as an empire. (without this invasion, GB would probably have never been important) After stabilizing GB the Dutch+GB went to war against the French again for years leading to a slight loss for the French. In the end The Netherlands was saved from an expanding French empire. The English got reformed to the Dutch standards and in ~10 years they took over the Netherlands in being the richest country on earth.
